About Matthew
Matthew Mobley is a licensed mental health counselor in Indiana with more than 26 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges like ADHD or bipolar disorder. He welcomes conversations about parenting, sleep problems, and coping with life changes, including recovery after natural or human-caused disaster.
His style is straightforward and person-focused. He treats each person as the author of their story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions emphasize respect and acceptance while setting practical goals.
Matthew draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help shift unhelpful thinking, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action, and Attachment-Based ideas to improve close relationships. He also uses Client-Centered and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques as appropriate.
In sessions, he aims to make things simple and useful. Conversations often include clear steps, skills practice, and small experiments to try between meetings. The focus is on coping skills that help day-to-day functioning and on choices that move life in a preferred direction.
He recognizes taking the first step can be hard and commends people for reaching out. Prospective clients can expect a calm, respectful approach that emphasizes listening, problem solving, and gradual progress.
Online approaches and what they look like
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and commit to small actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and situations where someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people build clearer, healthier ways of relating.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to each person's goals and preferences. Expect some trial and adjustment as techniques are introduced, practiced, and refined together.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some approaches lend themselves to homework and short between-session practice, which can be easier to track with remote meetings. Ask about practical details when you schedule so you can pick times and arrangements that fit your routine.
